His rhymes last year included the "...House Blog, Coqui Frogs, Menopause, Hilo Vog, Drug sniffing dog..." and other notable words and phrases memorializing the 2009 Legislative Session.
Today, he started with a nod to the musical talents of another lawmaker before sharing a rap that highlighted several legislative, government and state issues.
"The Minority Leader isn’t the only one in this Chamber who knows how to sing. This is a song I wrote, entitled It’s Going Down," he began.
Watch the full performance on YouTube and read the lyrics below.
Don’t let civil rights… lose in a good fight
Dems need to stand up… roll call abandoned
We need to try harder…
To take people farther…
So… will… you…
Meet me in the caucus… It’s going down
Meet me in the Speaker’s office…. It’s going down
Meet me wit da dissidents… It’s going down
Anywhere a legislator… Stand up for the under-rated
Bills and Resos… Committee room schedules
Government taxes… Bruddah no can handle
Let’s get together… to do something better
So… will… you…
Meet me in the Chamber… It’s going down
Meet me at the Snack shop… It’s going down
Meet me in the elevator… It’s going down
Wherever there’s injustice… ya know I’ll be found
When it comes to makin’ good…
You know I’m around…
Cause when the doo-doo hits the fan -
It’s time to get down
So meet me on the 5th floor… It’s going down
Meet me at my back door… It’s going down
Meet Me at my Mama’s House… It’s going down
Meet me on da Superferry… It’s going down
Meet me on da Facebook… It’s going down
At Kyle’s Gas Station… It’s going down
At Isaac’s Tax Service… It’s going down
On Jerry’s Motorcycle… It’s going down
With Karl’s Briefcase… It’s going down
Donated Kidneys… It’s going down
Providing leadership… Influence to represent
Strength to do right… Fight the Good Fight
Challenge the population…
Respecting God’s creation…
Loving those around…
Cause it’s time to get down!
Mahalo.
